<p>On this hard rockin', non-stoppin', monster stompin' episode of Yeah! (greatest podcast in the world, 2 months running) we're talking all about Rob Zombie and his song "Superbeast" that was featured on at least 2 videogames! Rob Zombie was on top of the world in 1998 when Twisted Metal 3 released...they even let him sort of be the boss of the soundtrack for the game! He then got tapped again in 2009 to appear on the soundtrack for Brütal Legend alongside Ozzy Osbourne. We get into the weirdness of Mr. Zombie (or is it Mr. Cummings?) and his roots in a sleepy Massachusetts town that coincidentally used to be the home of both Jonathan and Tanya. It's an endless thrill ride of Zombie-infused delights designed to tickle your ears and dazzle your mind.<br>0:00:00 - Haverhill Locals Only<br>0:03:48 - Inside the Twisted Mind of Rob Zombie<br>0:08:02 - What Was Happening with that Twisted Metal 3 Soundtrack?<br>0:11:06 - Adventures in CD-ROM<br>0:13:00 - Brütal Legend Starring Jack Black<br>0:14:47 - Rob Zombie's Living on Schlock<br>0:17:38 - The Locals' Guide to Haverhill, Massachusetts<br>0:19:37 - The Haverhill to Hollywood Pipeline to Fame<br>0:23:50 - Rob Zombie, Mario's Cousin Twice Removed<br>0:25:15 - Massachampshire<br>0:27:05 - Why Isn't Jonathan on the Notable Figures of Haverhill List?<br>0:31:12 - The Latest Update on Kaiju Big Battel<br>0:33:54 - I'm All Out of Thoughts and Feelings</p>

<p>Currently Playing returns with a first ever live in person recording! Daniel talks to his friend Marcy (musician, teacher, world traveler) about the game Black Myth: Wukong which is based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West. We take a deep dive into the origins of the company behind the game, Game Science, and their connection to the story and Chinese culture before discussing some of the finer details of the gameplay and the challenging Soulslike subgenre. Since Marcy was able to record in person he joined Daniel for playing Streets of Rage 4 which made the classic "couch co-op" game feel more alive, and then Marcy challenged Daniel to play Transistor. We end the show a little unconventionally as well by playing some of Marcy's unreleased music as background and then the also unreleased single Monsters.<br>0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Marcy!<br>0:07:44 - What Are You Playing?

<p>Jonathan and Tanya are back to talk about what nostalgia for current events might look like in the future. They cover the current tough times including the Switch 2's price (along with the USA's tariff affecting the price) before switching it up to talk about nostalgia for 2009. While they're there, Sarah Carapace stops by to talk about the Bionic Commando reboot that never really launched. Back in the current day, Jonathan notes how cranky game developers can get when they get older and blows up Tanya's spot regarding her enjoyment of the game Royal Match.<br>0:00:00 - Emo Comes A-Callin'<br>0:02:45 - Nostalgia For Now Because It's Only Getting Worse<br>0:06:10 - Switch Too Expensive<br>0:07:25 - Things Were "Fine" in 2009<br>0:08:59 - What Happened with Bionic Commando (2009)? w/ Sarah Carapace<br>0:47:10 - The Butt-cist Insult and Subsequent Apology Tour<br>0:48:47 - Time Makes Cranky Old Men of Us All<br>0:50:05 - What From This Time Will You Be Nostalgic For Later?<br>0:53:49 - Wrap Up/Plugs/Thanks Patrons!<br>0:59:08 - Butts Be Poppin': <a href="https://soundcloud.com/d-booth-sanford/butts-be-poppin" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/d-booth-sanford/butts-be-poppin</a><br>Follow Sarah Carapace on Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sarahcarapace.bsky.social" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/sarahcarapace.bsky.social</a><br>Check out the Kickstarter for Violet Core: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sarahcarapace/violet-core" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sarahcarapace/violet-core</a><br>Check out Nintendo Force Magazine: <a href="https://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/" target="_blank">https://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/</a><br>Check out the Gamebound Generations Magazine: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wearegamebound/generations-winter-2024-premium-video-game-magazine/" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wearegamebound/generations-winter-2024-premium-video-game-magazine/</a><br>Jonathan and Tanya will be a PAX East if you wanna hang out and read Nintendo Force Magazine!
